`t. , r L, /A? t>, - j A PATENT BEAVER RAT. COVINTON, in offering to the Public a BEAVER HAT of a quality, shape, and appearance, decidedly. superior to any yet manufactured, begs leave briefly to state wherein its Superiority consists. The finest BEAVER HATS of the usual manufacture, will, on account of the thinness and length of the BEAVER or NAP, assume a very rough and unsightly appearance, on being exposed to the wind. New this HAT, even if exposed to the roughest weather, will always present an uniform and beautiful smoothness, in consequence of a peculiar method resorted to in - disposiiig the NAP or BEAVER, which it remarkably SHORT and THICK. It is also perfectly water-proof, light, elastic, and of astonishing durability. C. C. is confident that one trial only .will insure the esteem this unrivalled Hat really merits.--Gentleman's travelling Caps in great variety. 121, Cheapside, two doors from Wood.street.

GREEK LOAN. Mr. Ellice has sent the following letter to a Morning Paper : " Snettishani, Nov. 7. " Sir,---I certainly did not intend to take further notice of the calumnies with which I have been assailed relative to . the Greek affairs, but it is necessary to deal more specifically with the insi nuations in your paper of the 6th. " Four charges, if I must 60 call them, have been made against me : ht. That I received 10,000/. in March, 1846, on account cal a steam-vessel, to be constructed under the directions of Captaiu Hastings, which I retained in my hands, deriving a profit Irma ii for nearly two years. " 2d. That I received 14,000/. from Messrs. Ricardo. " 3d. That I advised the Deputies to reject a conditional con tract for a lovn . made in Paris, by Mr. Luriottis, at the price pi 59, from interested motives. And, lastly—ln your paper of to-day, I atu charged with having stipulated with :Messrs. Ricardo, that I should rim* supplies of military . stares, &c., - required by the Greek Goveri . .. went, and to be paid for out of the funds of the loan. In respect to the second and last charges, I know not what more I can say, than that they are absolutely groundless and gra tuitous falsehoods, With respect to the steam-boat, althoUgh it is true I received an order upon Messrs. Ricardo for 10,000/. I only required tLat order as a security, without which I did not choose to enter into personal responsibility, on the faith of indemnity from the Greek Depot', %. I did not receive the money upon this order, and it was only paid to those through whom 1 ruade the necessary ar rangements, as they required it for current payments, or engage ments; and I have ascertained, that there was at no time an ad vance exceeding 1,7001., and seldom exceeding half that sum. " It is also true that Mr. Galloway failed in his engagements as to the stipulated period for the completion of the machinery. lie was afterwards expressly directed to devote his whole time to the preparation of the other Vessels, and gave this reason for the fur ther delay that occurred. With all this I had nothing to do ; and I must add, in justice to Captain Hastings, who superintended the whole process, from the laying down of the keel of the vessel, to taking the charge and command of her when she went to sea, that nothing was omitted on his part that zeal, industry, and persever ance, could supply. .• " With respect - to the loan, so, far from desiring the Paris con., tract to be rejected, it was always my wish the money should he raised, equally, if practicable, in France and England; but,des p airing of any arrangement in Paris, an absolute contract had been made by the Deputies with Messrs. Ricardo ; cud Mr. Luriottis arrived, with his provisional agreement, the day after his col leagues had not only stipulated for the amount of the loan, but that if more money was required, it should be raised, if they thought fit to undertake it, through the agency of Messrs. Ricardo. These gentlemen did not consider it for the interest of their sub scribers that the loan should be divided, and a categorical answer required whether the contract was to be ratified by all the parties or not. The especial reasons for my advice to the Deputies not to hesitate as to their decision, was, first---that the loan in Paris was only for a portion of their wants ; and that, although it was negotiated at the nominal price of 59, the stipulated deductions in favour of the. French agents so far exceeded Mr. lticarao's cons mission and the other reservations in the English contract, that the proceeds would have been less ; and, lastly, from the convic tion that if the arrangement failed with Mr. Ricardo, after the ne gotiation had proceeded so far, it would have been impossible to raise the money in this country. And lam ready to admit, with my put experience, my sincere and deep regret, that this was not ultimately the result. _ . " I do not understand the principle on which, iu an editorial article, you have been persuaded to add your last' charge to the others that preceded it. It is impossible it could hull originated 'informant ; for there is not the shadow of a pretence on which such a calumny could be grounded ; and surely a little inquiry was due to common justice, before you gave circulation to it. I never made such it stipulation, or anyother, with Messrs. Ricardo. I never dealt with a shilling of this or the former loan (except fin• the cost of the steam-boat.) I never supplied either stores, arms, or any other material to the Deputies, or their Government ; and I rtiect with scorn the imputation, that I could have, in any instance, looked to .my connection with them as a source of profit. I have neither myself derived, nor has any one connected with me derived, one penny of advantage in these transactions. " If I have had any concern in the Greek loan, it has been to a very limited extent, and with other persons ; and Messrs. Ris cardo, at the time of the contract, were unaware that I intended to take the least interest in it. But this has been no profitable operation, although, to its vast extent, I fully expected it would have been so, and 1 entered. into it solely with the object et profit, which► I suppose is the general principle on which persons deal in such speculations: And now, Sir, I hope I have at last satisfied you by an explicit and categorical answer to your inquiries, What Mr. Luriottii says, or doe., is perfectly immaterial to ow, and I only hope he may return to, his native country with a cha racter and with a conscience more pure than those he ascribes to his colleagues, in their absence. My conviction is, they are all guilty, or all innocent. lam now reaping the reward of many an 'anxious hour wasted in endeavouring to reconcile their quarrels . with one ;mother, and with other people, 'elite hope they might devote their united exertions to the Cause of their country. I have not only their faults and omissions to account for, but those of others; and I could add to thin letter, forced from the solely in vindication of my own character, some remarks on the manner in which my name has been referred to, by other persons, in these transactions, if I thought a continuation of these discussioue likely to contribute, in the smallest degree, to any possible good. 1 " I am, Sir, your obedient servant, " EDWARD ELLICE." The death of Tie ina appears to have eveiteti , A g reat sensation throughout A the French pro.. 4 ,nees. At Strasbourg, the apoth e o s i s o f T a h nt took place at the theatre, and all the performers appeared in mourning. The same ceremony took place at Lyons, and in some other large towns. At Valenciennes, the inhabitants. claim the honour of being fellow countrymen of Telma, who they say was born at Poix, a village near Valen ciennes. Ihe journal of that city states, that there is a hamlet in the neighbourhood which bears the name of Talma. TASTE IN Music.—An American gentleman has just published some remarks on a tour he lately made in Europe ; in the course of which he takes occasion to observe, "all the sublime compositions of Haydn, Mozart, Weber, Rossini, never touched my heart like —Yankee Doodle ! !"

Mr. Ma_ cready was welcomed at his entrance upon the stage, wi t h 6, d, l o ng, and enthusiastic plaudits, which were r enewe d at every op. portunity during the whole of his performance, and, we may add, frequently when nn opportunity afforded, and when the rattling of canes and clapping of bands interrupted the progress of the play, and annoyed thou who were more anxious to hear, th an t , blish their critical acumen by noisy applause.

The number of persons invited absolutely exceeded the teem modation.whickthe spacious hall and the. adjoining apart ments afforded; and we observed several unfortunate ivights, who could not obtain seats, eyeing in much des pair, the enviable. Situations which had been obtained by those gentlemen and ladies who had appeared early, on the scene. At half-past six the Lord Mayor entered the hall in grand procession, followed by the late Mayor, and a num ber of persons of distinction. Amongst them we observed the Earl of Liverpool, Mr. Canning, Mr. Peel, Mr. Hus kisson, Prince Polignac (the French Ambassador), Lord Chief Justice Best, Mr. Justice Gaselee, Mr. Justice Holroyd, Chief Baron Alexander, Mr. Baron Hullocic, the Master of the Rolls, Lord Mountcharles, Sir G. Cock burn, Sir B. Martin, &c . The dinner (of which we cannot speak in very laudatory terms, nor vet of the wines, some of which, particularly the hock and a species of champagne, that savoured strongly of home-manufacture, .were exceedingly bad) having been despatched with all due diligence, The healthy of the King, the Duke of York and the Army, and the Duke of Clarence and the Navy, were pro posed and drank with the accustomed honours. The LORD MAYOR then proposed, with three times three, the " Health of the late Lord Mayor, wishing him every happiness and comfort in his retirement." The late LORD MAYOR, in returning thanks, declared that he had, to the utmost of his power, while in office, watched over the tranquillity of and prosperity o f th e Ci ty i • of London. The .Loup MAYOR next gave " the health of Prince Polignac, the Ambassador of his Majesty, the King of France; trusting that the amity. which at present existed between the two Kingdoms might continue unbroken." (Cheers.) Prince POLIGNAC expressed the , deep sense he enter tained of the honour which had just been conferred upon him. His Court, he could assure those whom he now ad dressed, was actuated by the best feeling towards this country. For hiMself he felt proud to be entertained by the chief men of this ancient and wealthy city ; and• he heartily wished that its trade and commerce might con tinue to flourish with unabated prosperity.—(Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR, after a short prefatorroulogium, proposed the health of the Earl of Liverpool, with three time js three, which wa s l ou dl y c h eere d . The Earl of LIVERPOOL returned thanks. He felt most &orb/ tilt* crrartrymqviadtryintrf.: ). .‘„,„ 1 given, and the flattering way in whi c h it Wad teen received. In the discharge of his public duty, he could not be insen sible to the good opinion of any respectable class of his fellow-citizens, but he must feel, most particularly, so ardent a mark of approbation, coming, as it did, from a body which represented the metropolis of this kingdom.— (Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR proposed, with three times three, the health of the Right Hon.. George Canning, on whose eloquence and general talents he pronounced a warm eulo gium.—(Much applause.) Mr. CANNING, in returning thanks, adverted to the pe riod when all Europe was engaged in a war of more than ordinary magnitude. That time had gone by, and the labour. of those who held high and official situations were, in consequence, considerably lessened. Those labours were , now comparatively light and trivial; and as they were directed towards the cultivation of peace, and the diffusion of arts and commerce throughout the world, they carried with their success reflections of the most gratifying. nature. They had this day heard, in their own language, uttered by an illustrious foreigner, what were the senti ments entertained towards Great Britain, by that country, with which, for twenty years, they had struggled (as we understood the Right Hen. Gentleman) for the mastery of the world. Those sentiments, he was happy to say, were of the most conciliatory description ; and he was sure it would be most satisfactory to the assembly, when he declared, that the feelings which had been this day expressed on the part of France, would have been re-echoed, with delight, had the representatives of the other European Courts been present.—(Cheers.)— Successfully to cultivate the continuance of the peace and tranquillity which now happily prevailed, would afford a sufficient reward for all the labours to which, a public man, he must necessarily be exposed.—(Cheers.) The Loup MAYOR then proposed the health of the Right Hon. Robert Peel, to whose courteous conduct, and persevering exertions, in his situation of Secretary of State for the Home Department, he could bear, from experience, the most decisive testimony ; as, in his situation of She riff, he was frequently obliged t o hold communication with the Right Honourable Gentleman on subjects - of consi derable unportance.—(Prank with three ti mes th r e e , and great applause.) Mr. PEEL returned thanki. The public approbation which his conduct had this day received was peculiarly valuable, because the situation which he had the honour to hold placed him in constant communication with the M therefore, had a full opportu n ity to judge uliic o lP f al h ßoy isdprO who proceedings. He must say that those coin munications afforded him the most unmixed satisfaction. 1 He could truly assert, that during the period of five years in which he held his present situation as Secretary of State for the Home Department, there had not, for one mom en t, b ee n an interruption of the cordial understand ing which subsisted between him and the authorities of the city of London. and which was so essential to the good government of the city.

ExTRArT , Or A PRIVATE tErnea, DATED JULY, 1926. am only waiting to get the titles to ray laud, when, if I can get as much for it as will carry us all back to England, I will return, and go to daily labour in pre ference to remaining where 1 cannot get common jus tice. Although there are Commissioners of Inquiry here—would .you believe that 1 have been corresport thug with them, and with the Colonial Government, ever since November last, and am, by rule of might not right, to be kept' out of the deposit money, I ad vanced for persons who never came out to this colony —who never put Govern ment to a s hi lling expellee, and coesequeetly there can be no claim Net up against the sums advanced in their names ? This is one of the mine et uke, instances that I could bring forward of coloeial justice, but " a still tongue maketh a wise ll ' ead. " It is a greae proof of my moderation that lam not in England to give evidence, not, against Gite only. Times are getting very b a d here, with prospect o f worse instead t of better, from many causes ; they cannot all be the effect of ,climate. There never was a finer or more healthy climate. The great defect of the country is the want of good navigable rivers, and, unfortunately, there is hardly any rise of tide on the coast worth speaking of. People complain of want of capital ; that appears to me an evil that will' be in this country perfectly incurable. There never can be lexports to reach tit, rite half the anaeuut of the imports. Wine, as you know, f rom t hi s colony, will hardly sell in England for hog-wash, while such superior wines can be had at nearly as cheap a rate, from the neigh bouring countries in Europe. Hides cannot be sup plied as cheap as from South America. ivory is nei ther so abundant, nor so good as from the west coast,. Tallow cannot be sent with any prospect of success, as it is usually as dear at Cape 1 own as in London:— Wool will be a long time before the qualit will be fit for any thing but to stuff mattresses. The great drawback to that also will be the price of labour, even when the colony may have attained both quantity and quality of its wool. The same drawback exists against the timber, of wf:.l but two kinds are worth export ing, viz ; stink wood, if equal, certainly not superior to mahogany, and ides wood, which is equal to satin wood. The metals we at present know nothing about ; we hear at random of lead and copper. Persons possessing a small income, such as half pay officers for instance, may do very well, that is, comfortably as to animal life, if they have no " soul above buttons." By having a small grant of land or purchasing a piece, they may eat their own b ee f, poul try, and pork ; mak e their own butter and cheese ; grow their own vegetables, and Indian corn. Wheaten me a l or flour must be bou g ht a t an extravagant rate ; tea and sugar as dearas in London. Horse flesh is cheap, and the horse grazes all the year round, except about three months of the sickly season, when he ought to b e stabled. Clothing is exorbitantly dear ; on an average two hundred per ceut. dearer retail than in London. Taxes are nothing ; mine, this year, were under it. sterling. But these persons must do bodily labour, in a greater or lesser degree in proportion to their in come ; 150/. per annum will not exempt them totally. They may get drinkable wine by the half pipe, at about seven-pence per bottle. The above applies to all the frontier districts.

Among the Spanish troops were two regiments of cavalry, the horses of which (besides about 200 for the saddle or draught), consisting of the finest of the Spanish breed, were lila& and unmutilated, with fine long tails and flowing manes ; but which, from the shortness of time, it was found impossible to bring away, and it was determined to abandon them : at the moment of embarkatiort, how ever, they created 4 scene most remarkable. The first regiment was drawn up about 100 yards int:;ind, and Gen: Romano, addressing himself to Adm:,rat Keats, said, " Perhaps I ought to order thete fine horses to be de stroyed; but their exists a sort r,f mutual attaehment be tween the soldier and his kotse, amounting almost to friendship, mightbe unwillingly :ne !Oath to give an order th at which nilleic:::cuted; some will go to t h e ene to 6? e.'ountry peopl e , so t h ey must take their i h as r e e ;tier' gave directions for th e b r idl es to be taken off, land they wer e qu i tte d w i t h their saddles on.

The second regiment, at the Rear-Admiral's desire, was taken to another field of rising ground, and about half a mile farther off, when the horses were quitted iri that tame manner as the first.

But in their utmost fury they seemed to avoid the sight of man; while their sidling movements clearly showed that they were desirous of preserving some military order, and whirls at times gave them the appearance of acting in concert.
